Anthony Enns: Sonic Specters: From Direct Voice Mediumship to
Electronic Voice Phenomena
This paper will examine the history of spiritualist sound research and
its relationship to the development of new sound technologies from the
late nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Modern spiritualism was
a religious movement based on the principle of direct communication
with the dead, and early sound technologies like the phonograph and
the gramophone were frequently employed as models to explain the
transmission of disembodied voices during spiritualist séances. Radios
and tape recorders were incorporated into these sound experiments in
the twentieth century, as spiritualists believed these technologies
were also capable of capturing the voices of the dead. By examining
the methods and practices employed by spiritualist sound researchers,
this paper will explore the uncanny aspects of sound technologies as
well as the psychic, linguistic, and media-technological implications
of electrical noise.

Annie Goh: Speculum Rotarius -- Electronic Ghosts
I will present my work "speculum rotarius -- electronic ghosts", a
room installation which used the software 'EVPmaker' by Stefan Bion to
enable possible communication between the visitor and the spirit of
Michael Jackson. I would like to present some of the theoretical ideas
behind the installation, including my connection between EVP and Sonic
Fiction, EVP and hauntology, as well as some other related works.
